"A well-rounded, structured, and harmonious Malepère—a must-try!"

A Malepère dominated by Merlot, with a powerful nose of red fruits and spicy notes, along with hints of vanilla and eucalyptus that lend a refreshing touch to the overall profile. It is characterized by beautiful body and remarkable aromatic persistence.

About the estate:

Located 5 km from Carcassonne on the banks of the Canal du Midi, this is one of the oldest wine estates in the Malepère region, with origins dating back to the 13th century and the Roger Cahuzac de Caux family, and the vineyard to the 16th century. Acquired in 1871 by the ancestors of the current owners—a long-established local family—the estate experienced its first period of growth around 1900. Its recent revival is linked to the renovation of the cellar in 2015 by the Boyer family, who took over the estate (70 ha, including 55 ha of vineyards).
